I am needing to loose weight so I can get my knee(bone on bone.), foot (ganglion & bone spurs), & lower my blood pressure. My doctor suggested bariatric bypass surgery but that scares me. I found a diet created by a nurse and doctor called the Omi Diet. Can you tell me if this is healthy or a scam? It s 70% plant pasted and 30% protein based. No dairy, no carbs to start and it s supposed to teach you how to eat healthy without eating the foods we ve been taught are healthy. It is supposed to help my thyroid too. I had pre cancer and had half my thyroid removed 35 years ago. I also deal with inflammation and muscle skeletal issues which this diet also teaches you food that do not cause inflammation in the body. So what do you think?
